1. STARLINGS

Black, black, black secrets circulating in the black night
Black shoes, black shirt, black dress, black frame for a black eye
A black box full of black sighs

Did anybody see the silver stars glowing pink on the black shore?
Or see the bomb burst like a cherry, deep red with a black core?
White flags in a black war

Does anybody else know how I feel?
The color's running out, the feeling's real

Black, black, black, black kiss on the filter of the cigarette
Black wish, blacklist, black lips from the letters of the alphabet into a single black regret

Did anybody see the Starling's black dance in the pink sky?
Or hear the silver note buried down in the depths of a black cry?
A red-throated goodbye

Does anybody else know how I feel?
The color's running out, the feeling's real
Does anybody else know how I feel?
The color's running out, the feeling's real


2. NO OBLIVION

No death, no sex, no danger, no absolutes
No cross, no code, no country
No one to shoot
No lover collapsing into the bedroom
No terror collecting in the empty pool

No safe place to run to
No frame of reference to shake
No one but you
No one but you

No death, no sex, no saviour
No breaking through
No taste, no trace, no trigger
No desperate youth
No silver sedation in the classroom
No color correction for a violet-blue

No safe place to run through
No frame of reference to shape
No one but you
No one but you
No one but you
No one but you
No one but you

No belief, no release, no oblivion
No more sleep, no more dreams, no more drifting
No tablet dissolving into the bloodstream
No signal receiving into an empty sky

No safe place to run through
No frame of reference to shape
No one but you
No one but you
No one but you

(Do you remember?
Our thing lasts forever)


3. A SKY DEEP AND CLEAR

The water's fast and deep
I saw a ripple pass through my reflection
And then it shivered through me like a warning I didn't heed
(They tell me)
I should've dropped my anchor down
When I felt my ship was drifting out
But the anchor was me
And I see myself sinking

I'm struggling now
The waves are tumbling down
The ocean's emptying out
The sky is deep and clear
I'm under it now
I see you up in the clouds
I want to scream your name loud
But I can't find the air
I can't find the air
But I can't find the air
I can't find

The mirror's thin and flat
I saw a splinter crack in my attention
But then the feeling passed like a good night that just couldn't last
(They tell me)
I should've pulled myself out
When I saw that the glass walls were coming down
But the mirror was me and it was broken from inside

I'm struggling now
The waves are tumbling down
The ocean's emptying out
The sky is deep and clear
I'm under it now
I see you up in the clouds
I want to scream your name loud
But I can't find the air
I can't find the air
But I can't find the air
I can't find the air
I can't find the air
But I can't find the air
I can't find the air

I'm struggling now
The waves are tumbling down
The ocean's emptying out
The sky is deep and clear
I'm under it now
I see you up in the clouds
I want to scream your name loud
But I can't find the air

I'm struggling now
The waves are tumbling down
The ocean's emptying out
The sky is deep and clear
I'm under it now
I see you up in the clouds
I want to scream your name loud

Are we going to see a resurrection tonight?
Oh, you know I want to wake up
I want to come back to life

Are we going to see a resurrection tonight?
Oh, you know I want to wake up
I want to come back to life

Are we going to see a resurrection tonight?
Oh, you know I want to wake up
I want to come back to life

Are we going to see a resurrection tonight?
Oh, you know I want to wake up
I want to come back to life


4. LOVE SONGS FROM FASCIST ITALY

Do you remember it was summertime?
But everything was turning cool
The sky took on the pinkest light
Even though the streets were blue
There were rivers running right through us
You caught me in a cup of ice
Frozen at the sight of you
Standing in the checkout line
Our hands under the table
Close enough to feel the heat
It felt like a dream
It felt like a dream

Close, too close
I feel too closе
Close, too close
I'll lose mysеlf

But that was just a dream
But that was just a dream

That was all it ever was
She'll call you in the wintertime
With a summer in a satellite
Go spinning around the world for days
No color in the morning light
No terror in the evening breeze
Just falling through the endless night
Wondering if I'm asleep
Was that just a dream?
Was that just a dream?

Close, too close
I feel too close
Close, too close
I'll lose myself

And it was like a dream
And it was like a dream

Close, too close
I feel too close
But that was just a dream
Close, too close
I'll lose myself
That was just a dream

That was all it ever was
But that was just a dream


5. THE END OF LONGING

Just be calm
The water's rising in your bedroom
Just be calm
There's a floating life where nothing can touch you
It's much too late to take account
It's much too late to change things now
When it feels like you're dying

You can't escape the longing for the way it was
The way it was always meant to be
You can't escape the longing for the way it was
The way we were always meant to be

Just be calm
There's a shadowland opening under the spark
Just be calm
There's a quiet life where no one can reach you
Is it too late to make things last?
Is it too hard to find the path?
It feels like we're dying

You can't escape the longing for the way it was
The way it was always meant to be
You can't escape the longing for the way it was
The way we were always meant to be

The longing for the way it was, the way it was
The longing for the way it was, the way it was
Is it too late to make a change of heart?
Feels like I'm dying

You can't escape the longing for the way it was
The way it was always meant to be
You can't escape the longing for the way it was
The way we were always meant to be

The longing for the way it was, the way it was
The longing for the way it was, the way it was
Is it too late to make a change of heart?
Feels like I'm dying
Is it too late to make a change of heart?
Feels like I'm dying
Is it too late to make a change of heart?
Feels like I'm dying
Feels like I'm dying
Feels like I'm dying


6. ENDLESS DESIRE

Lately I've been searching for the reason
You've been drifting far away
From me
Lately I could see your thoughts floating on
Lately I can feel my heart sinking down to the sea
Come back to me

Come back to me

Maybe I'm the only lighthouse
Waiting for the ship to hit the reefs
Float to me
Maybe I've spent too much time alone
Lighting my cold light in the hope that you'd see
Come back to me

Lately I've been feeling you drift
Lately I've been feeling you drift away
Come back to me

Tonight I'm on the only road
Am I the only one who can see the headlights racing into the night?
Am I the only one out on this lonely road who can see the signs flicker by?

Come back to me

Lately I've been feeling you drift
Lately I've been feeling you drift away
Come back to me

Maybe I've spent too much time alone
Lighting my cold light in the hope that you'd see
Come back to me

Lately I've been feeling you drift
Lately I've been feeling you drift away
Come back to me


7. REPEATERS

Babe, don't you want to sleep outside under the car?
Scratching letters into the dirt right next to your heart?
Babe, don't you hold your breath behind the bathroom door?
Babe, as it gone too far?

Oh, it's a circle
But will it come around?
Oh, when it's all too late
Oh, it's a circle
But is it natural?
Oh, when it feels this way?

Babe, don't you want to scream outside, under the stars?
Dig your fingernails down into the flesh of your palms?
Babe, is there any room left for us?
Not tonight
Babe, have we gone too far?

Oh, it's a circle
But will it come around?
Oh, when it's all too late
Oh, it's a circle
But is it natural?
Oh, when it feels this way?

Oh, it's a circle
Oh, when it's all too late
Oh, it's a circle
But will it come around?
Oh, when it's all too late
But is it natural?
Oh, it's a circle
But will it come around?
Oh, when it's all too late
But is it natural?
Oh, it's a circle


8. IN A BROKEN LAND

It hasn't rained in so long
Just take up the lines
Bring the beast back home
Tonight we'll wake up the house
Call the lovers down to fight
Just take up your knives
And go back to bed
You know real life, real life is just a wayward path

And it's too hot
Wake up, wake up
Or the river dies tonight
Drink up, drink up
Before the river runs dry

You haven't sang in so long
Just pick up your wings
Fly yourself back home
Tonight
Don't wait for the light
To fall across the earth
It's time to realize, realize
Love is a broken land

And it's too hot
Wake up, wake up
Or the river dies tonight
Drink up, drink up
Before the river runs dry
Before the river, before the river runs dry
Before the river, before the river runs dry
